Eligibility
The Canterbury Junior Chess Championships are open to juniors under 20 at the start of the year.
Format
5 round tournament using Swiss pairings (i.e. players are paired against other players on the same score where possible) so all players will usually play all rounds (if there is an odd number, one player each round will get a bye i.e. no game and 1 point).
In addition to the open section, the age groups will be run as separate sections, noting that the organisers reserve the right to combine age-adjacent sections with low numbers. Players may choose to play in the open section or the section for their age.
Players may take one half-point bye on Saturday (please indicate which round in the entry form).
The tournament will be officially rated by the New Zealand Chess Federation (NZCF) if possible.
Laws of Chess apply including notation (writing the moves down) – scoresheets and pens are provided.
Time Controls
60 minutes each player plus 30 seconds increment per move from move one.
Players not in the venue 30 minutes after a round’s start time will default that round and may be withdrawn from the tournament.
